The Drilling Rig Will Be Destined for the Parque das Conchas Field, Shell Begins to Partner with Brazilian Companies

Shell has finally made a decision and is starting to see the potential of Brazilian companies to support its drilling activities. There was an event this week where Petroserv and Shell signed a lease agreement for the semi-submersible rig Catarina, intended for Parque das Conchas, in the Campos Basin. The campaigns will start later this year and open precedents for more future charters. The President of Shell Brasil, André Araújo, is optimistic; see his statement in the video below:

In fact, Shell already holds half of the operation concession for this field, while its partners, ONGC and QP, have 27% and 23%, respectively. The FPSO Espírito Santo is producing at this well and belongs to SBM Offshore. So far, there are twenty-two interconnected wells in this production unit: Argonauta Field (14), Ostra Field (7), and Abalone Field (1). According to ANP, around 45.8 thousand barrels of oil were produced daily in November 2017 across these three assets.

In fact, since December 2017, CEPEM has been conducting many selection processes for various offshore positions ( see some articles about its hires here), after a while we learned that the Human Resources department of the company was hired by Shell and Ventura, but it had not been disclosed for which units candidates would be allocated. Well, now this announcement explains a lot, doesn’t it? See some photos from a large selection process held there in January:

Remember that Ibama has authorized Shell to drill five wells; towns in the interior of Rio may gain a base from the company. More offshore units and support vessels will be chartered to carry out the activities, and Rio and towns in the interior will have logistical and operational support bases. Who knows, one of these vacancies might be yours, but for that, it is necessary to have at least a technical education. If you want, the school Premium has been authorized by CREA and MEC to resolve this in 45 days. FIND OUT HOW BY CLICKING HERE, THE COMPANY WILL CALL YOU SOON.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The coastal El Niño is not the classic El Niño, but it already raises a question in Brazil: can the phenomenon alter rain, heat, and winter?

The commander of the Brazilian Army publicly admitted that the country now perceives real threats in South America, something that, according to him, did not exist in the past, and advocates for the increasing use of drones and technology to secure the borders.

In China, even those who beg on the street already have a QR Code, paper money has practically disappeared from daily life in just ten years, and the entire country has come to live on invisible payments via mobile phones.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.
